PICTURE PERFECT: This Cape Cod-style three-level home is picture perfect with elevated views. Open2view Matt Lowe
THIS three-level, Cape Cod-style Coastlands home is situated on an elevated section at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
With three bedrooms, a rumpus room and great outdoor-living areas it will make a wonderful family home.
The well-established home receives all day sun, has three heat pumps, one on each level, and has been recently re-jibbed and re-insulated, making it very cosy in winter.
Starting on the top level. The spacious master bedroom with its cathedral-style ceilings has a generous-sized en suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and the A-frame roof allows for plenty of storage cupboards.
A look out the window in the morning sets you up for the day as the views of White and Whale islands through the dormer windows are tremendous.
The second bedroom is also on this floor and has the same view through the front-facing windows, with the added bonus of views of Putauaki across the Rangitaiki Plains as well.
The main living areas are on the second floor, which has stairs leading up to a balcony at the front and opens directly onto the deck and lawn at the back. An open plan area has a tiled kitchen and dining area leading onto the deck.
An extra-wide oven, five-burner gas hob, self-closing drawers and cupboards and pull-out larder make it a great kitchen for the large family that likes to entertain.
The living area overlooks the front lawn, facing toward the beach and is warmed by a heat pump.
Along the hallway is the third bedroom. This room is a good-sized double and also overlooks Whale Island.
The main bathroom, with separate toilet, is also on this level. These are both fully tiled in white with red detailing.
The extra-deep bath is perfect for relaxing and with a gas hot water system you can afford to soak to your heart’s content. A shower enclosed with curved doors and stylish vanity make up the picture. The laundry room opens out to the clothes line area at the back.
Downstairs there is a large rumpus room with a large, lockable cupboard under the stairs and a heat pump.
A double, internal-access garage provides plenty of space for a workbench or chest freezer.
Part of the downstairs level has been left as a storage space for kayaks, surfboards and other beach equipment, but has potential to be converted into a workshop or separate apartment.
The backyard has a large deck, fenced on all sides, making it private and sheltered. The backyard has concrete edging around the easy care gardens making them easy to keep tidy.
The front lawn is also fully fenced but a concreted parking bay has been added providing a convenient place to park the boat or caravan.
